Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta

Here’s a recipe for Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta:

Ingredients:

For the shrimp:

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 3/4 cup cornstarch
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Vegetable oil, for frying

For the sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Juice of 1/2 lime

For the pasta:

• 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Start by cooking the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha sauce, honey, and lime juice to make the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Set aside.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the cornstarch in a shallow dish. Dredge each shrimp in the cornstarch, shaking off any excess, and place them in the hot oil. Fry the shrimp in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
5. Once all the shrimp are cooked, toss them in the prepared sauce until they are evenly coated.
6. To serve, divide the cooked pasta among serving plates. Top with the Bang Bang shrimp and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
